Run like the wind!  Well, at least that was our attempt.  On October 10th, there was the 5k Run/Walk & Fitness Expo held at the Promenade on the Peninsula Mall in Rolling Hills, CA.  This run was to help showcase the mall, and also help to benefit the Harbor Area YWCA.

Normally in events like these, we would set up a booth and try to promote and sell our products.  But this time we decided to take a different route (literally).  Our Torrance Shop staff decided to actually participate in this run, and promote our Phiten name by helping out the local businesses in the South Bay area.

Half of us participated in the full run, as the other half participated in the walk and walked around the course with our Phiten Flag.  This was a great way to give our name some publicity while supporting the event.  We were able to talk to other runners about our products and also tell them about our store.  There were runners there who were already wearing our products proudly, and the winner of the run was actually wearing our Mirror Necklace!

We already had customers visit our shop after they saw us at this event.  Hopefully we can do more events like this, so we can make a more personal connection with the public and also let everyone know what Phiten is all about.

Check out the pictures!

Getting ready…

Run!

Upcoming baseball player, Kirk Nieuwenhuis paid us a visit at the Torrance Shop.  His agent was the one who brought him to the shop.  He browsed through the store because it was actually his first time to visit a Phiten shop, and was excited to see all of our products.

He was drafted by the Mets organization in 2008, and graduated from Azusa Pacific University here in California.  He plays center field, and right now he is working his way up from the minor leagues to be in the majors!  We wish him good luck!

Don’t worry, Phiten isn’t really going to knock anyone out.  We are actually quite harmless and very friendly.

Recently, the Phiten Torrance Shop was fortunate to have a customer who is in the Women’s Amateur Boxing world!  She came into the shop to try our products, and she then later returned with positive results and purchased a few items for herself.

Her name is Nana Yoshikawa.  Originating from Japan, she was training around the Southern California area and was a part of the English Factory Gym (Team EFG).  She participated in the 2010 Ringside World Championships and placed 2nd place in the Women’s 119 lbs Division.

Nana likes to use our Phiten Massage Lotion to recover from her rigorous training.  She also used the lotion to recover in between her matches at the World Championships.  She said that the lotion helped her a lot with her success at the World Championships.

As you can see, Phiten is not all about the necklaces and bracelets.  We also have items such as lotions and tapes to help your body deal with your physical stress.  These are just a few ways that Phiten can help you “experience the energy!”

Hi Everyone!

Make sure to stop by and visit the Phiten Hawaii Shop during our Family Fun Days this September 1 thru 11, 2010.

Also, if you stop by on Saturday, September 4th, between 11am-2pm, we will have a cotton candy machine, and face painting as well. Bring the kids down, it will be fun for all!

All of us here at the Phiten Hawaii branch have been watching the Little League World Series with pride, and for good reason: our very own Waipio Little League team keeps on winning!

Phiten Hawaii has been a very proud supporter of the Waipio Little League team since 2006, and watched with all of Hawaii as they went on to win the Little League World Series in 2008. Now the same club is back, with some new bright faces, in 2010, and we are all hoping for similar success.

Go Hawaii!
